Skoda Kamiq Passenger Seat Issue
Summary of the thread
A Skoda Kamiq owner experienced an issue with the passenger electric seat not working, with an error related to seat adjustment. It was suggested that a heavily discharged or defective battery could be the cause, as power seats are sensitive to voltage drops. After consulting a workshop, it was confirmed that the battery was indeed the problem. Replacing the battery resolved the issue, and the seat function was restored.

Yeah, it's the original battery. I haven't actually checked the voltage myself though. But if the battery is low, wouldn't I be having other issues too Like problems starting the car, or other electrical stuff acting up It's just the passenger electric seat that's playing up, hence the confusion

Understood. You'd expect other symptoms with a truly bad battery. Thing is, the power seats can be quite sensitive to voltage drops. If the battery is borderline, it might affect them first. However, it could also be a faulty seat motor, wiring issue, or even the seat control module itself. Given that you've got an error code, and you're not comfortable doing electrical testing, honestly, I'd advise taking it to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the problem and pinpoint the exact cause. Could save you a lot of time and frustration.

Just wanted to share the resolution. The workshop confirmed it was the battery. They replaced it, cleared the error, and now the passenger power seats are working perfectly again. Cost me 290€ all in. Thanks for the help.

Electric seat issues on a Kamiq That's a bummer. First thought is definitely battery. Have you checked the voltage A heavily discharged or defective battery can cause all sorts of weird electrical gremlins, especially with power seats. They need a good amount of juice to move those automotive seats around. Is it the original battery If so, it might be nearing the end of its life, especially if you do a lot of short trips.
